Wrong Ritual, Wrong City

Wrong Ritual, Wrong City

Inexplicably, one day, some folks living in the big city of Metropia noticed that things had changed. Something had suffused the city with power, and not everyone could be counted on to behave responsibly with it...

"Wrong Ritual Wrong City" (formerly titled The Slow Leak) is +David Wood's campaign about a big modern urban environment suffering from a most unusual and antiquated ailment: working magic. It's running in GURPS, with 150-point characters; an unusual problem demands talented heroes. Or at least talented concerned citizens. Contact me on G+ to get into the hangout circle (or email me at territan at gmail period com). Sessions have typically begun on Tuesday afternoons at 6 PM Eastern Time (3 PM Pacific), but if enough people contact me requesting another time, I'm willing to negotiate.

Rolemaster Classic

My name is Shawn Sanford, and I would like to post a Rolemaster Classic G+ game starting on February 8^th, at 7pm cst/1:00am gmt.

Introducing, Roleamster Classic on Google +; every other Wednesday at 7pm CST/1:00am GMT.  That’s right bitches, Rolemaster.  Are you man/woman enough to handle it?  Do you have the mental capability to cross reference?  How about the ability to add and subtract three digit numbers?   Does the following crush crit sound cool to you?

            “Strike to foes shield arm.  Bone severs vein and an artery.  Foe dies after 12 rounds of inactivity.”

Or, how about this electricity crit?

            “Head strike.  Foe loses nose, he is temporarily blind for two weeks, and is stunned for 9 rounds.  -95 while blind.  If no helm, foe is knocked down.”

If you answered yes, no, or maybe to any of the above, then Rolemaster might be for you!  If you are feeling particularly brave and foolhardy, contact +Shawn Sanford at arcadayn44 at gee mail dot com.  On Google+, I’m the shaggy haired rapscallion with the thumb stuck to his chin.  Complete novices or grognards are equally welcome. The first hangout will be character creation and an introduction to the awesomeness that is Roleamaster.

A Great Old Apocalypse: An Apocalypse World/Cthulhu Game.

Hey, my name is Chris Mitchell and I'm looking to run an ongoing Apocalypse World game on Sundays starting on February the 12th at 100PM Eastern Standard Time. The game will run weekly for 13 episode "seasons". Players may drop or add in between seasons, but I ask that if you start a season, you finish out the season. I do, however, understand that life is what it is. :)

The setting is one I'll be loosely creating with Graham Wamlsey's The Apocalypse Machine sourcebook for Pelgrane Press's Trail of Cthulhu. The ongoing, week to week rulesset will be Vincent Baker's Apocalypse World, meaning that the game will focus on drama and intimate human stories in a horrific world. As the game is highly collaborative and player-driven, much of this, meaning both the drive of the game and the setting, is up to the players and their characters.

Character creation is really quick and we'll do it as a group. You don't need anything but 2d6, the printed sheets I'll email you, and a pencil. Oh, and a Google Hangout compatible computer with all of the accoutrements that would suggest. More information about Apocalypse World itself can be found at http://apocalypse-world.com/. Information about The Apocalypse Machine can be found at http://www.pelgranepress.com/?p=6269.

My email, if you're interested or have any questions, is theparableengine at the gmail.

Editorial Note: Carcosa Warning: Rated Jale

On a planet 153 light years away from Earth, orbiting a star in the Hyades Cluster, you have been born into one of the thirteen races of men who were bred specifically to serve as components for the bizarre and horrific sorceries of the now-extinct snake people - not that you know any of that. However, even with those reptilian bastards gone, humans are still not the top of the evolutionary heap, and in fact are being held mostly in a state of primitive and ignorant "civilization" by the omni-present threats from Grey aliens, the Great Old Ones and their spawn, the mutated flora and fauna one finds there, and the remnants of Primordial Ones' fallen civilization. Life is therefore dangerous, brutal, and short for the humans of the planet, and character death should be understood at the beginning to be a likelihood, especially for adventurous 1st level characters.

For those of that who don't know, Carcosa is an unquestionably mature setting, with subject matter that some find highly objectionable. And while I don't intend to linger on or embellish over-much the grotesque and inhumane rituals of sorcerers, they will appear at some point, along with their sometimes requisite components of torture, murder, and/or rape. If you think that's something which will ruin your fun then this is not the game for you.

Mechanically I will be using the Lamentations of the Flame Princess rules and classes, including the Fighter, Specialist, and the Berserker (a variation on the Dwarf), as well as an alternate Sorcerer class than the one presented in the Carcosa supplement (basically a tweaked version of the LotFP Elf). In most every other way the LotFP rules will be followed, save that for experience I will be using Keys, as found here, with the experience charts being adjusted to reflect the smaller xp rewards. Each character will get to choose 2 Keys.

The game will be on Thursday the 27th of January at 5-7pm MST for the folks in North America, which is about 8-11am of the 28th for those of you in Singapore. I'm adam kunzang nyima on G+, with a picture of me doing a handstand on a beach, and my email is (here dot now dot relax at gmail dot com). I'm looking to make this an every-other-week game with up to four players per session. And while I may allow FLAILSNAILS characters in the future, at the moment I want to keep everything relatively close to the source material.

Beneath The Tower of Zordaz

Hi, my name is Nicolò Maioli (aka Il Male™, author of The Yaqqothl Grimoire blog [http://theyaqqothlgrimoire.blogspot.com/]). Last summer I started working on a Megadungeon named The Tower of Zordaz, and I started a new blog [http://towerofzordaz.blogspot.com/] to host the project. Now I feel ready for a play-test of my work. I'll run the game on Sunday, February the 5th from 9.00 pm till 11.00 pm (UTC+1), that is 3.00 pm till 5.00 pm (EST.) The game is open to three players, not FLAILSNAILS (you'll need to bring a brand new 1st level character, native of The Black Barony), using by the book Moldvay's Basic/Labyrinth Lord (although 1st level Clerics will have no spells.)

Please note that you'll be required to speak slowly and loudly during the game, and possibly to be patient toward me, for English is not my native language. Also, I will decide whether or not turning this into a regular campaign depending on how this session goes, so consider it a one-shot. My name on Google+ is Nicolò Maioli (my avatar is the cover of Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures album), and my e-mail is malsetto[at]gmail[dot]com.

Sydell

Hey all, I'm running a game on ConstantCon. This is the page for the LotFP rule version.

My blog is http://rpgrantsandraves.blogspot.com/

The game is to be run at 2 p.m. PST/ 11 p.m. in France starting the 24th of Jan and every week after.

The system is LotFP (which can be found on his website here.)

Going to be using Google Plus: you can find me at dragolite 1 at gmail dot com or Googgle Plus under the name Lon Varnadore (my avatar is my girlfriend and myself with sunglasses looking into the camera.)

players: 4-6 1st lvl. characters only please. FLAILSNAIL welcome.

This is a campaign that will be ongoing, I am looking for a group of players that will be able to get on week after week. I do not mind changing the time to every other week if necessary.

Sydell is a place of dangers and wonders. A land where most gods have passed on, and only a few grant power to their faithful. Where the riches are all around, if you know where to look. Where spell and sword might be enough to protect you.

This is a campaign that will be one of a number of plot lines. Choose your path. The only thing you know is that you have taken a caravan to a town called Mytheran. Here, you can get a job working for the Church of Theran, the Church of Sylenia or find some work in the local tavern of the Broken Spoke or the Three Coins Inn.

I'm not one for rules lawyers. THERE IS NO RAILROAD. If your party wants to go off an do something else, don't worry there is something else to do. But, be wary of leaving things half finished. Also, new to this online GMing thing, just a warning.

Number Of Weekly Sessions: 4 or more, depending upon player interest. 

Summary:
It is the Second Age. Numenor stands strong amidst the western sea. But for how long? The latest King Of Numenor Ar-Pharazon, has been slowly manipulated by Sauron, an emerging Dark Lord of Middle Earth. Once a prisoner of Ar-Pharazon, Sauron is now a most trusted advisor. Elvish has been banned. Those still faithful to the Elves, and Man's balanced relationship with immortal beings are known as the Elendeli. You and your close friends are members of this small rebellious band. What will you do to turn the tide towards the light? If nothing is done to stop the evil growing in Numemor there will be a devastating doom. Under the dark influences of Sauron, and his evil master, Melkor, Lord Of The Dark; Numenor is destined to be destroyed. You and your faithful companions will have full rein over how your group gains 1.) money 2.) influence 3.) powerful artifacts and the ancient knowledge necessary to turn the King's ear towards the greater good. Or you may intend a coup to replace the evil that is permeating Numenor? It is your choice. What would you be willing to do to save your home and your family?

NOTE: Owning Legend RPG is not necessary to play. I can provide you with a Runequest 2 SRD that will give you more then enough to create and run a Legend character.

Zharillia

Title: Zharillia
System: Labyrinth Lord
Time: Every other Thursday 2100 EST - 2300 EST starting 12 Jan 12
Google+ Page: http://goo.gl/WTQQm (DM)  http://goo.gl/qc7fK (Campaign Site)
Dungeon Master: Roger Burgess (roger dot burgess dawt iii at geemale dut com)

Zharillia, that place where if you fall off the edge of the world,
you'll probably starve to death before you hit something.  Ancient
beyond belief, with continent sized shards of a broken, shattered
world floating about in the Ether, Zharillia's strangeness only begins
with the surface details.  Life is cheap on a 5000 mile wide floating
rock and it's hard to tell what's more dangerous: the people or the
monsters.  Only the lucky will survive.

I can be contacted at +Roger Burgess (my avatar is a shocked-looking
Pip-boy).  Bring 1st level FLAILSNAILS compatible characters of the
following classes: Fighter, Dwarf, Magic-User.  Other classes and
races will be unlocked through play.  If you want to be a priest,
worship a god and tithe 20%. No clerics, only five-year olds get their
boo-boos kissed.

Griffin Mountain Part 3

Barry says:

Join our intrepid heroes for the third instalment of Griffin Mountain.

Saturday 3rd December 17.00GMT (9.00PST, 12.00EST)

Knowledge of Glorantha not strictly necessary, but would help.

Rules: A somewhat tweaked version of RQ2, contact me and I'll send you the details.
